PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Henry rented a bicycle from 11.22 a.m. to 3.21 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.70 |
From 11.22 a.m. to 12.22 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.22 p.m. to 3.21 p.m. = 2 h 59 min = 179 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 179 ÷ 30
= 5 r 29
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 5 + 1
= 6
Amount to pay from 11.22 a.m. to 12.22 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.22 a.m. to 3.21 p.m. = 6 x 1.70 = $10.20
Total amount that Henry paid
= 4 + 10.20
= $14.20
Answer(s): $14.20
